How sad is this?
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
if i could give it 10000000000000 i would, i have seen this 4 times cried 4 times , 2 beautiful women met via a YouTube video, its the single best true story i have ever seen, if you watch this you will never ever forget it, it will change you for the better , just wh3en you think you got this life figured out this comes along and knocks you on your butt
This movie was very disappointing. Almost no suspense and development at all, and everything is revealed at the start. We know all the time how it will go. Have seen similar documentaries before, which has much of the same, but is better. The film repeats scenes already shown earlier in the film to the irksome. I had hoped that their biological mother had come into the film, but soon realized that it would never happen, since the film just swirl around and around in the same place. Lingering at ... nothing.Guess its interesting enough as a private video for immediate family, but not for the general public.
This film just aired on the Fusion Channel. I loved it. First question: When this adventure first began, did it suddenly occur to Samantha this story potentially could be a great documentary, AND, if so, how did she quickly connect up with a film production company and producers to quickly capture everything. She did mention that she had graduated from college and later was wearing a Boston University t-shirt. BU is a great film school--did she make a connection there?Second question: Did either girl speak Korean? When the first foster mother came into the room, I could of sworn that Samantha was translating to her sister. I could be wrong because the only technical criticism I have is the sound capturing was very poor. It was as if they only had a single mike overhead on a boom which picked up a lot of sound bouncing off walls and ceiling along with trying to capture different voice levels at the same time. It didn't work AND there is no CC to turn on to help.
This documentary was possibly the most emotionally involving film I've seen in years. As the protagonist becomes immersed in the totally surreal experience of discovering and meeting her doppelgänger on another continent, the viewer can completely empathize with every twinge of emotion, euphoria, stupefaction, and deep, deep feeling. It also provides some good insights into the Korean international adoption phenomenon and the large number of adoptees hoping to meet their birth mothers. By turns hilarious and heartrending, it really gives you the whole roller-coaster experience. Bring a hanky and be prepared to fall in love.The skill and immediacy of the story-telling are phenomenal--well-conceived and beautifully executed. The music and animation are effectively and judiciously used, and the editing was genius.Of course it is an amazing story, so that helps. It left me wanting to stay involved in the story, caring so much about these endearing, creative, hilarious, true-hearted people. Brava! (pop)
